    As we move closer to the fight, I continue to build confidence that Cotto is going to flatten Pacquiao. I see it less and less Pacquiao's way as time goes on, and the possibility of a Cotto stoppage in my eyes is just so far past false illusion in my eyes it's hilarious.

    I believe the bout will be competitive and go over 12 rounds. Cotto is strong, has a good chin, solid defense and good conditioning, so I don't see Pac knocking him out. I favour Pac by close decision. I don't understand why people are so extreme by picking Pac by early Ko or Cotto by early KO.

    But I don't think Cotto's jab will be become a big factor, because Pac is a southpaw and moves. I disagree with you on that.

    Im an unashamed ******* but everyone must know this is going to be a very tough fight for both guys.

    Pac isnt going to blow Cotto away early the way some are prediciting. I think pac might just get the stoppage but it'll be well late if he does.

    What people dont realize is that not jabbing a southpaw is a myth. If you counter a southpaw's jab or parry their jab and throw your own, you will neutralize their southpaw stance and open them up to lefthooks and right hands. I dont see Manny being winning a descsion. I believe the longer the fight goes the better Cotto chances are to win and impose his will and size.

    I say to Cocka-Roach to keep it coming! This is only motivating Cotto to put a real can of ass whipping onto Pacquiao. I don't mind it and Cotto definitely doesn't ming it either. It's bad enough that the odd's are so much in favor for Pacquiao. This is some extra fuel for Cotto's domination on Nov.14.:yep

    Roach is so cocky BUT... He has been correct on Diaz, ODH (and Pacman was a betting underdog) and Hatton (who had never lost at 140). I just cant bet against Roach until he loses, no other solid reason as to why Pac wins more so then Cotto. Roach knows something, thats why they took the fight.

    To be completely honest Roach makes me kinda nervous when he says this crap lol but I know Cotto prepared well and is thinking good defense so I still think his timing + power will frustrate Pacquiao

    Did he say, "Winner takes all"?
    That would be the LARGEST purse any one fighter takes home in the HISTORY of boxing. If they do that, Floyd...would rip the head off Manny Pacquiao.

    I'm gonna be pulling for Manny come fight night, but I'm thinking more and more that this will be an extremely close fight. I think the overall talent difference between these two has been severely exaggerated by Manny's last two fights.
